How Can WAVE Help You?

Whether you're serving people or saving them...
WAVE makes it possible for your teams in the field or in the office,
to communicate and collaborate effectively through voice and data
– securely, reliably and in real-time –
regardless of network, carrier or device.

Hospitality

Better Service, From Anywhere

Better service requires better connectedness. WAVE connects your smartphones, computers and radios onto a single platform so you can freely communicate and collaborate on the device that suits you best from virtually any location. From housekeeping to security to administration, your employee base is only a touch away.

ELEVATE GUEST EXPERIENCES WITH NEXT-GENERATION COMMUNICATIONS

Learn how you can connect staff and improve productivity with Motorola's Hospitality solutions.

Be Prepared for the big event

Improve communication between entertainers, caterers and other outside contractors. WAVE allows you to set up temporary licenses for contractors so they can talk on your communications channels using their current devices. And at the end of the job, those accounts can be quickly deactivated, with no need to organise the return of radios and accessories.

Increase Operational Efficiency

Lower infrastructure costs by leveraging the devices your employees already have in place. Not all employees (or workplaces) need two-way radios. For those that don’t, WAVE can be placed on the same smart device they use for tasks like work order tickets, reducing costs and allowing employees to open and close tickets and work more efficiently.

Learn How Hospitality Customers Are Using WAVE

MGM Resorts needed a new push-to-talk solution because their existing cellular technology was nearing end of life. WAVE helped them augment their radio system with smartphone technology, connecting MOTOTRBO radios with broadband devices via an app.

LTE Service Providers

Increase Revenues and Customer Retention

Provide your customers with a high-performance broadband PTT solution so their teams can communicate instantly and effectively. WAVE offers advanced features such as emergency calls, user prioritisation and scan lists, allowing you to provide the best user experience to your customers.

Unlock New Customer Bases

Attract LMR customers looking to extend and augment their network with a broadband PTT solution that features Motorola’s best-in-class LMR integration. With WAVE, you can offer your customers a truly unified PTT experience across LMR and LTE.

Manufacturing

Faster Communications. Increased Operational Efficiency.

When production goes down, every second counts. WAVE’s unified PTT allows line workers to instantly talk with supervisors whether they’re short on raw materials or simply have a question on procedure. The result is quicker communications and a more efficient workforce.

One Device For All Your Communication Needs

Plant managers, production supervisors, engineering workers and other employees who primarily use smart devices for their work can stay connected to your radio system without the need to carry two devices. Extend push-to-talk to your smartphones, laptops, tablets and PC’s, so your employee base stays connected no matter their device. By leveraging the existing devices and networks you already have in place, you maximize the value of your investments and improve your bottom line.

Military & Defense

Communicate between bases and branches

Units from the various military bases and branches are often unable to reliably talk to each other, forcing liaisons in the operation centers to coordinate and disseminate even the most basic information. WAVE provides a unified communications platform, facilitating better real-time coordination.

Stay Connected, Wherever

Domestically or overseas, on the ground or in the air, units and commanders stay connected for greater awareness and faster decision making.

The U.S. Army’s 20th Support Command (SUPCOM) is at the forefront of modern CBRNE detection and elimination. They depend on WAVE Work Group Communications as part of their rapid deployment communications equipment to improve reachback from worldwide field locations to subject matter experts at headquarters, as well as tight coordination with on-scene agencies and first responders in emergency situations.

The U.S. Army base installed Motorola Solutions’ WAVE software so that when an incident arises, personnel are able to notify everyone on base, whether on desktop computer, radio, or telephone, and regardless of disparate or proprietary systems.

WAVE provides the interoperability and flexibility to unify communications and collaboration of units not only during their training but also matching the interoperable environments troops will encounter on deployments.

Public Safety

Simple, Interoperable Communications

WAVE provides a communications architecture that eliminates barriers between different radio and broadband communications networks. Police, fire, EMS, and any other work partners can all communicate over PTT with WAVE, no matter what radio or broadband device they use. Add neighboring communities to your system for interoperable communications across borders, eliminating the need for multiple radios and facilitating better real-time coordination.

Stay Connected In Any Situation

WAVE’s PTT over smartphone or desktop devices keeps you connected across a variety of situations. Command Staff who don’t require a radio can leverage their existing smart devices to communicate over broadband networks. Chiefs and supervisors can listen in from off-site or at home to never miss a moment. Or undercover personnel can use WAVE’s unobtrusive application to communicate discreetly with others. No matter the situation, WAVE provides instant, real-time communications to keep your operations running smoothly for safer, faster incident response.

5 TRENDS TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS

Smart Data For Smarter Operations

WAVE’s optional real-time location tracking gives you greater visibility to your entire operation. Supervisors and command staff see an improved real-time view of resources for increased situational awareness and better decisions. Integrated messaging provides a way to minimise radio traffic and provide quick reference information in loud or discrete environments. The result is faster and more coordinated responses, smarter decisions and safer outcomes.

Air Evac Lifeteam is the largest independently-owned and member-supported air medical service in the U.S. The physical limitations of their radio network were becoming a liability, with multiple stations, consoles and dispatchers in play, and no inter-service interoperability or system survivability. WAVE helps Air Evac Lifeteam affordably achieve near-unlimited scalability, greater efficiency, extensive communications interoperability and system redundancy.

The CPPS needed a push-to-talk solution that would connect the many different radio systems spanning their vast 14,000 mile rail network. WAVE solves the problem, enabling officers to use smartphones for secure PTT communications with radio users.

With WAVE implemented, emergency management personnel can communicate with other agencies via virtually any device - smartphones, tablets, desktop PCs or LMR handsets among them - without the need to patch in additional users.

Transportation & Logistics

Stay Connected for Optimised Fleet Management

With increasing demand for faster, more on-time service, WAVE connects your entire workforce to a single communications platform. Notify personnel of last-minute delivery changes or alerts by maintaining radio communications, even outside your radio network. Whether on the road, in the air, or in an office, WAVE provides a unified communication platform between radio and broadband networks to enhance service levels inside and outside of your organisation by ensuring that operations are on time and efficient.

Increase Asset Visibility

Use WAVE integrated voice and data for visibility into what your mobile workforce is doing and where they are. Real-time location mapping gives you immediate access to critical data for improved decision making.

More Efficient Operations for a better bottom line

Turn your desktops, laptops and smartphones into push-to-talk devices to increase your communications capabilities while minimising costs. Many employees who do not carry radios would still gain value from connecting to your radio system. WAVE bridges the gap for these users, connecting the devices they already use to your network to ensure that operations are on time and efficient.
